You don't decide what people think is overrated or not. I think Gears isvastly overrated(as far as I'm concerned, no one else needs to care). The gameplay is glorified hide-n-seek where all you do is hide behind crap and shoot the enemy in the head until they die. How many headshots does it take to get to the center of a locust, anyway? Also, don't tell Major League Baseball about Gears because all of its cast members are juicing. Everyone seems to like the "Cole-Train," but he didn't particularly amuse me. Lets see here.... oh, there's the whole, lets show a ton of blood just for the sake of it thing that I'm not really into. I didn't like the excessive linearity, the atmosphere in general, or the teammate AI. Yeah, lets try to fight the Berserker! Great idea, dummy. (Regarding my AI teammate). Also, last time I checked, a good story takes a while to flesh out.... 6+ hours isn't enough time to accomplish that feat, imo. I don't think they should make a 60 dollar game with the pretense that they'll be making it a trilogy beforehand. They're essentially going to release 3 "1/3 to 1/2" complete games and charge us $180 (or more) for them. They could have made the effort to make the single player experience more of.... an experience.
Oodles of people seem to love the online play... which I thought was worse than single player. Before they gimped team-stackers (yay), I would join a ranked game, only to find myself with 3 other people who had no idea what they were doing. Oh, and guess what? The other team was comprised of 4 players who had practiced with each other on a regular basis and had their strats down. Needless to say, 99% of the ranked games sucked unless you had your party posse with you. Half the time 3/4 members of my team would quit, leaving me 1 vs 4 to get pwned. (I'd always get a chainsaw kill in beforehand, at least (the only redeeming aspect of multiplayer for me)).
Whether Gears of War is overrated or not is an individual opinion, and not something you have control over. You're a lemming, as far as I'm concerned. Even if it were the amazing game you believe it to be it would not be free of criticism. Constructive criticism leads to improved products in the future. To summarize, I think it's vastly overrated, and I'd score it around a 7, on the threshold of "good." You don't have to agree with me, but you damn well have to respect my opinion :) If you can formulate a more intelligent argument, I'll respect yours as well. Until then..... Yoshi, signing off.
alright- lets see here - first off there is no other game that can come close to matching the graphics off GOW (atleast on the 360) and second off the gameplay is not like others- its something new ( a new idea to further work upon - which i agree with you on the constructive criticism) i guess u can give it a 7 if u r rating it upon games up to par with it **(which are..? what games? - i cant think of any), but to give a game like COD3 a 8. whatever and to say thats better than gears... i mean comeon - compare the two games, i have cod3 and i gave it a chance - a half a games worth and what a waste it was - gears got my attention from the start and also got the attention of many gaming critics (in a POSITIVE way)
really i jst dont understand why so many people in this board are jst bashing gears
